The Silver Streak 
I love hearing about the Silver Streak. I hope to see it in person soon.
I love this story, so amazing. I will be sharing with everyone I know!
What a fascinating story!! I hope to see the Silver Streak someday!
Thanks for the note Dave. It is indeed a facinating story and I feel fortunate to have been able to find and buy the car. My mother and my aunt both took trips in the car.
